[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andynx1:
Thanks for your reply.

I've spent (literally) all day searching the forum (I'm in the uk - so hours and hours). There's so much, and some of it contradictory.

Ok, so I can't put a rom on without a custom recovery, but I can't put a custom recovery on because the stock rom wipes it?

I don't actually want a custom rom, simply a rooted stock phone. Which I have had previously.

Cheers! (driven to booze!)

Andy
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andynx1:
Thanks.

Yes, that's what I've been doing. There's a mistake in that part of the faq:

Faq states at the end "reboot recovery"

Should be "reboot-bootloader"

That works, but as soon as I then reboot into 2.3.3 - it wipes the custom recovery (which is why I'm in the q + a).

The other problem I'm having is that my phone doesn't appear rooted from within the o/s (apps that require root don't work), but the padlock is there ans the bootloader is unlocked. I can install su and busybox installer from the market, but neither work.

Back to the beer!

Andy
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
I can't explain all in detail while on my phone.

Do this. Grab a preroooted stock rom from the dev section and put it on SD card.

Boot into fastboot and flash the custom recovery.

Then load up that recovery without booting up the os.

Flash the rom you downloaded.

There are other ways to fix your issue but this is probably the simplest for you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andynx1:
Thanks, that makes sense - and I agree with your statement above (simplest for me)!

I had (mistakenly) thought that unlocking the bootloader, then installing busybox and su from the market gave me a rooted phone.

I'll give it a go, when my wife regains her patience ;-)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Damn, you're right. The guide is missing the part of removing 2 files that the other guides have. I'll try adding that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Guide fixed. I've uploaded and linked the file that removes the stock recovery restoring files from the stock ROM.

You can repeat the guide and include the new part - it should prevent stock recovery from being restored on reboot.

Please try and write your feedback.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andynx1:
cheers! i've done what was suggested tho', and its worked a treat.

thanks again.

[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
People often mention that to get apps to show in the Market that are missing, they use MarketEnabler. When I do this, and fake T-Mobile, Verizon or whatever, it never shows any missing apps at all. It looks like it does nothing. I've even tried Force Stopping the Market afterwards and clearing its cache. (Yes I have root. I'm currently running CM7, but it didn't do anything on Eclair 1.0.1 either.)

Am I missing something? Is there a trick to getting it to work?

Is there any other way to get apps to show up? Downloading on my phone, backing it up, and transferring it is getting annoying haha.
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
have you tried "market access"?

without it i could not see paid apps in the store (because of my country). now i can buy apps with no problem.

still, i dont know if it will give you access to those apps hidden for you
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Ironically, "Market Access" isn't on the Android Market, at all?

https://market.android.com/search?q=market+access&c=apps&safe=0&so=1&price=1

http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=market+access

Where did you find this app?
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
at the developer's site here

http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess

i think in the end it does the same as market enabler, but it is free :)
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Thanks. Gave it a try but still missing apps.

The Amazon app, official Twitter app, Google Voice. I can't get these to show up still, and probably plenty of other pretty "standard" apps.

Can anyone on CM7 get these to show up in the Market? If so, how?
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
and can't you get them thru the web market? (just speculating, i dont have CM, i'm still waiting for a stable release)
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
It's a good thought, but sadly no. :(

Note: I do know how to transfer apks manually; it's just annoying to do so. I wish the apps actually showed up in the Market.
[Nook Color General] combustiblemonkey:
Its not carrier restricted since you are not coming from a carrier. The problem is actually being addressed at length by the CM team in the dev threads.

edit: its related to (i believe) some apps requiring an SD card and some apps requiring a security setting related to copy protection... I could be wrong on that 2nd part.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
So are you saying some apps (like Amazon, the official Twitter, and Google Voice) cannot be seen by ANYONE running CM7, no matter what?
[Nook Color General] dalkor:
Hmm. Could you tell me, how much time it took for web market to recognise your device after rooting and adding google apps? It was more than 10 hours since I autonooted, but there are no signs of my nook in market's device list. I use autonooted 1.1.0.

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Hmm, not sure. When I checked to see if Market Installs would work, that was the first time I logged in since installing CM7 last weekend. I assume it shows up immediately after you register with the Market on the device, but I guess not.
[Nook Color General] dalkor:
Oh, so you are running CM7.

Does anybody know whether Nook with nooted 1.1 ROM shows in the web market device list at all?
[Nook Color General] combustiblemonkey:
No, I am saying it is hit and miss. Check the dev thread for details and a work around.
[Nook Color General] danbutter:
I had success with market enabler, but not on cm7..nookie froyo and I did the clear cache of market force stop and google framework something or other also.

Did a reboot and then first thing used market enabler to fake Tmo and then all the missing apps I had been looking for showed up right away.

hit and miss is no joke though.
[Nook Color General] azshorty2003:
tried both verizon and tmoble. didnt do anything except cause my market to keep crashing. trying to reboot a couple of time to hopefully bring it back up. glad i made a back up a little while ago.

guess ill search for another solution.
[Nook Color General] wpnyc2009:
I have all Apps listed.

Paul, I've never had much issue using CM7 nightlies. A few Vs back the "my apps" starting working as well.

PM any requests while you futz with your Market access. I'll send whatever you like.
[Nook Color General] azshorty2003:
well it appears that my nook was registered through the marketplace properly, went to the the android market website, found the app i wanted (google maps), selected install, it lets me choose either my phone or my nook. chose nook, downloaded right away. now i have access to anything not showing in my market.

not the most ideal fix. but it works for now. not like i was missing many anyways. try it out. can probably even be done from nook browser.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
What ROM are you using? And did you edit your build.prop manually? What "fix" do you mean?

No matter what app I select on the market.android.com website, it says my Nook is not compatible (see a few post #8 for screenshot).
[Nook Color General] azshorty2003:
im just using the custom froyo 0.6.8 from sd.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922324

i havent done anything besides run this version. i really dont know how to do any of the fixes or anything else. very noobish. so glad this had everything i needed and runs so smooth.

by *fix* i mean, just way of doing things. not really a *fix*. there are apparently fixes out there. but this required no programing and no use of adb, although i finally figured out adb wireless. so i could finally try it if i wanted.
[Nook Color General] Damager78:
You may want to read through this thread, they tell you how to enable android market (if this is what you are looking for), I've used it and have gotten a number of apps. I stopped and switched to Honeycomb, so I didn't download anymore apps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidorulz:
Since stock gingerbread for the N1 just came out I was curious if there are any advantages to getting it over CM7.

CM7 has many additional options stock is lacking but im curious if there are any big things that would make someone change like better camera or better battery etc
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drive2droad:
Well first of all this is the wrong forum to post a query . second , depends whether you like stock or you want to have everything A cyanogen mod rom offers to you . If you go by my choice CM rocks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roxtedy:
Hello, I have GB rooted, DT appext, and I am happy. All work, very fast, battery is very good. I have cca 60 app and I have 19 MB use internal memmory. GPS fix cca 10 sec. CM is good but only stable version, I have CM nightly V6 and I have big problems with colling.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidorulz:
Sorry about that. I haven't had any issues with CM7 for calls as of yet. But features like shortcuts in the notification bars and haptic feedback tweaks for all the screen intersections are great

for stock users other then the extra memory and speed and general gingerbread stuff that CM7 has like better copy paste and animations etc is there anything else that would make someone switch?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikadnanm:
Idk I kinda found the stock one to be quicker than cm7 and everything works perfect. I too had the call problems with cm7. Battery life seems equal. But the quickness is enough for me to keep stock.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
Thread moved to Q&A, because this is not ROM Development.

FWIW, though, I almost always use CM. I prefer CM7 to stock Gingerbread.

Want to change your boot animation, but dont wanna mess with ADB?

Download the desired bootanimation.zip

Put on root of SD.

Rename chosen boot animation to bootanimation.zip

Open up Root Explorer, navigate to root of SD long press the bootanimation.zip file, and select move

Navigate to /system/customize/resource

Click Mount R/W

Click paste, and overwrite the existing file.

Reboot.

**NOTE: you may want to back up the existing boot animation first, in case you dont dig the new one**

I can only verify that this will work with the HTC EVO. Im not responsible if you accidentally mess up your phone.

The directories may not be the same for every rom...

The built in file manager for cm7 does not mount the system partitions as R/W which is required. I actually have not found a single file manager that *CAN* mount cm7 system partitions as R/W.

Question guys and appreciate any feedback. I really want a Xoom but im holding off for a wifi version but I know once I do get one my 3 year old will want to take it over as he has already taken over my Evo. Hes a phone hog and a battery killer with all his angry birds and apps that he has on there lol (very proficient Android 3 year old). How durable is the NC? Like tough wise. Think itll survive a 3 year olds destruction? I was looking around and they can be found for $200 bucks online. This way I can mess around with an Android Tablet and the kid can use it instead of my phone or xoom once I get that.
[Nook Color General] bjitty:
I have one and it feels pretty solid to me. I even dropped mine from about chest high straight onto a hard wood floor once. Picked it up and it worked like a charm.

[Nook Color General] bjitty:
lol .. Yeah he'll probably be stealing my tech toys before I know it. It's actually great for long drives. My wife and I drove to my parents last weekend. It's an hour drive (so not real long but still). I have the NC tethered to my Evo. She browsed the web and read most of the trip. She loved it.

I think she was pretty skeptical when I bought it at first. She quickly came to love it though. After the first week she would say, "are you taking the Nook to work with you again??" .. haha .. so I started leaving it at home. Once a solid Honeycomb port hits I might purchase her, her own NC.

Mine must not have been a good drop then. Or maybe it hit the ground just right because it survived. It was a pretty high direct drop too. I bent down expecting the glass to be cracked but it wasn't.

I can't really tell. When we drove it was at night. I've used it around an office with fluorescent lights everywhere with no problem. Glare wise it's probably about like the Evo since it's a glass surface. If I think about it tomorrow I'll check them side by side.
[Nook Color General] carnesm:
I let my 6 year old use mine for the read-to-me books as well as Angry Birds, though i have to remind her to be careful with it. I did get a Squaretrade warranty for it for $30 (normally $39 for 2 yrs) so that adds a little piece of mind. I'd definitely add a warranty to it if you can if you're planning to let the little one play with it.

Haha, I remember how anxious I was when I let my six-year-old cousin-in-law borrow my week-old iPhone 4 to play "AAAANGWY BIRRRDS!" (man there are an awful lot of dashes in that sentence).

With the rubberized back and solid plastic outer, I think the NC should stand up pretty well, but a case wouldn't hurt. Just make sure that he doesn't throw it across the room when he gets stuck on a level... I've been known to do that occasionally.

Hy every body, does some one heard about SD damaged after a FAT32/EXT4 Format?

Let me explain myself:

I've SD-FROMATTED my sd, then using GPARTED LIVE SD in my HD2 in MAGLDR

i've created two partitions:

1/ FAT32

2/ EXT4

I do have click on "apply".

Now, my SD is unreadable and unrecognized by my phone.

The oly way i have to use it now is FAT32 only.

It is the third time i do the partitioning on this SD and it's the first time it does'nt work

Try Panasonic SD Formatter as mentioned above. With the stock SD card I've had problems formatting using a card reader, however.

but first go to control panes, then computer management, devices, find your sd card and right click on it. select create new disk label and that should solve your problem.

now after that run minitool partition manager and you 'll be able to see your sd car as new disk (or something) just create a new partition as (fat32, primary) format maybe that could solve your problem.

Hi,

I have an odd issue. I got a Legend as a loaner for my samsung SGS i9000m (don't get it...).

Anyhow the phone died from low battery last night and now when I turn it on I get the lockscreen fine (screen in full colour etc etc) but when I unlock it the screen goes black. I cann't get any menu to come up either unless I've used a program that I have accessed some other way. For example I can access e-mail if a notification shows up but I can't use it on its own because I cannot get to any home pages and I can access search from the buttons and the keyboard from the buttons but nothing else.

I've tried a battery/sd card/sim out reboot but no dice. I'll try another sd card in a bit but it seems like the sense ui is not loading or something.

Any thoughts or suggestions. I can't access market or any apps so please keep that in mind with suggestions. It was not rooted or modified in any way as its just a loaner.

Thanks, G
[Legend General] Kwen:
If somehow you can get access to "manage application", you could try doing a clear data/clear on HTC Sense and see if that brings back the home screen.

Or go to http://market.android.com and get ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro (remote Install)

And/or try to do a factory reset?

Thanks for the reply but its now in a bag waiting to go to the post office. I told them not to bother and send another. I tried to get to the menus but no dice, and since I could not use the dialer, even any phone line commands I think would not have worked.

I had thought about looking into a remote install but thats too much effort to learn for a phone I was only going to have for a few weeks and it may not have worked still. Went back to just a plain old cell for now....
